IMPROVEMENT IN GUTTER-HEADS POR ILANING-MAGHINES.

T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN Be it known thatI, WILLIAM H. CHRISTIE, of Albany, in the county of Albany, and in the State of New .3 York, have invented certain new and `useful Improvements in Moulding-Cutters; `and do hereby declare that.; the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. i In the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A represents a mandrel, which is provided with i the heads D D', andhvliich has slipped over 'and secuii'ed fast to it a hexagonal collar, C.4 B represent `a. series 1 of metallic plates, which are provided at one end with the saw-teeth ada.` These plates are provided alsowith slots made longitudinally of them, and just wide enough to fit snugly over the collar Gand against two sides of i it, aslseen in Figure 2. The plates B, after being placed over the collar C,are secured between the heads D Dby i means of a nut, E, which passes over a thread on theend of the mandrel. By using a series of theseplatesB 3 u iwith cutting teeth a variety of' work may be performed. 'By adjusting the plates, their cutting teeth may be t fitted to almost any pattern for cutting mouldingsor'oval frames for pictures and looking-glasses;'or` may be` y used for cuttingv tongues and grooves wherever necessary. llhe mandrel may be made of any desired shape, l `no as to conne the plates and keep them from -slipping'while being set to a pattern, and also more firmlyin t i L positionwhile performing their work. t

Having'thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is` A cutter for forming monldings, when formed of a series of.plates,.B, each havingcutting teeth, a a, and t an elongated slot in which is the mandrel, and upon it theplate can be adjusted, so as to cut any desired shape t of moulding, substantially as described. l 4 In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto 4set my hand this, 20th day of June, 1867.'

WM.` H." CHRISTIE.
